2017 Jeep Renegade

STEERING LOCK UP. ON TWO OCCASIONS WE'VE HAD THE STEERING LOCK UP ON OUR 2017 JEEP RENEGADE TRAIL HAWK. FORTUNATELY, ONE HAPPENED AT A STOP SIGN AND THE OTHER OCCURRED WHEN WE DROPPED THE VEHICLE OFF AT THE DEALER FOR REPAIR. WHEN THE STEERING LOCKED UP, OUR JEEP WAS ALSO EXPERIENCING ILLUMINATION OF MULTIPLE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHTS. THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL (T50 / NHTSA 17V-485) THAT SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSES THE MALFUNCTIONING INDICATOR LIGHTS IN THE 2017 RENEGADE. HOWEVER, IT ONLY APPLIES TO RENEGADES BUILT FROM 9 JUN 2017 THROUGH 18 JUL 2017. UNFORTUNATELY, OUR VEHICLE WAS BUILT OUTSIDE OF THIS WINDOW AND THE SERVICE MANAGER WILL NOT REPROGRAM THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER UNLESS IT IS IN THE VIP AS AN OPEN RECALL FOR THIS SPECIFIC RENEGADE. I HAVE CALLED JEEP CUSTOMER CARE TWICE ON THIS ISSUE AND WE STILL HAVE NO RESOLUTION.

I HAVE A 2017 JEEP RENEGADE. THERE IS A MASSIVE RECALL ON THEM DUE TO THE CAR SHUTTING OFF DUE TO FUEL PUMP AND OIL SENSOR ISSUES. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF ON ME IN INTERSECTIONS AND ON THE HIGHWAY AND IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I CONTACTED CHRYSTLER AND THEY SAID THAT THEY ARE NOT FIXING THIS RECALL UNTIL AFTER THE 1ST QUARTER IS OVER DUE TO PART AND FUNDING ISSUES. THEY REFUSE TO HELP ME WITH THIS ISSUE. I CANNOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE DUE TO UNSAFE CONDITIONS.

ABOUT A WEEK AGO MY JEEP RENEGADE STARTED STALLING IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING ON THE ROAD, IT ALSO STRUGGLES A LITTLE TO START BACK UP AFTER SAID STALLING. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE SINCE I HAVE A 4 YEAR OLD CHILD AND SHE WAS PRESENT IN THE VEHICLE ON TWO OCCASIONS WHEN THE STALLING HAPPEN. IT IS ABSOLUTELY A HAZARD TO BE ON THE ROAD WITH THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM..LIFE THREATENING!

ON 4 OCCASIONS NOW SINCE OWNING MY JEEP RENEGADE THE VEHICLE WILL JERK, CHECK ENHINE LIGHT COMES ON, AND THE VEHICLE WILL LOCK IN 3RD GEAR. I TRY TO SWITCH TO MANUAL SHIFT AND WILL NOT SHIFT. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE WITH 50 MILES, AND NOW OVER 28,000 MILES WITH REOCCURRING PROBLEMS. ON INSTANCE THE VEHICLE LIGHT WARNING COMES ON INDICATING ALL OF THE LIGHTS ARE OUT IN THE VEHICLE, AND THE LIGHT BUILD INDICATOR WILL REMAIN FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, AND CUT OFF. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION COMPUTER ON THE FIRST INSTANCE, REPLACED THE BSM ON THE SECOND OCCASION, AND SINCE THEN 2 SOFTWARE UPDATES. THIS VEHICLE IS DEFECTIVE IN SOME WAY AND FCA NEEDS TO ADDRESS THESE ONGOING ISSUES THAT ARE A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN.

AS DRIVING OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP I COULD HEAR THE BRAKES SQUEAKING. MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS SINCE IT WAS A BRAND NEW CAR, MAYBE THE BRAKES NEED TO BE BROKEN IN. ALTHOUGH, NOW HAVING OVER 20K MILES, THE BRAKE SQUEAK HAS GOTTEN WORSE OVER TIME CAUSING MY ROTORS TO BECOME DAMAGED WITH DEEP GROOVES. THE CAR ALSO JERKS WHEN SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD. IT IS EMBARRASSING, ESPECIALLY WHEN PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE, FOR MY BRAND NEW, BARELY A YEAR OLD, CAR TO BE JERKING SO ROUGHLY. IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME PROBLEM OR SOMETHING SIMILAR, PLEASE SPEAK UP SO THIS PROBLEM CAN BE RESOLVED. THERE ARE OTHERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT BUT HAVE NOT SPOKEN UP, NOW IS THE TIME. DONT WAIT!

TAKATA RECALL - TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE 12/10/18, TOOK A TRIP TO YOSEMITE ON 12/25/18 BEFORE LEAVING HOME MY HUSBAND CHECKED MY OIL AND I WAS HALF WAY DOWN MY OIL STICK. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE WHEN I JUST TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE? I WAS MAYBE A LITTLE MORE THEN 1000 MILES. NO OIL LIGHT CAME ON. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME, THE FIRST TIME I WAS WAY LESS THAN MY OIL CHANGE MILEAGE WE WAS HEADING TO LA AND HALF WAY THERE MY CAR STARTED STALLING WE PULLED OVER AND CHECKED THE OIL WHEN THE CAR COOLED OFF AND MY HUSBAND NOTICE I HAD NO OIL IT WAS AT THE BOTTOM LINE ON MY OIL STICK. WE HAD TO RUSH TO GET OIL FOR MY CAR. NO OIL LIGHT CAME ON, THANK GOD WE MADE IT SAFELY TO NAPA TO PURCHASE OIL.
